Unfortunately I am not able to add this comment to the openSUSE wiki
because I was not able to pass the spam protection :-(
(thought it wouldn`t be so hard to answer the question 10+5 but none
of my entries were accepted).
So, here is my comment by mail:
Thanks for bringing up this topic!
As discussed my proposals are:
For the overview of system status
http://de.opensuse.org/images/b/bf/Statusoverview.png
The main idea was to show an overview of system component status (e.g.
CPU) indicated e.g. by a green dot (or something)
After clicking on the section an accordion opens with detailled
information and a graph.
The limits are edited via >Settings. The settings are organized in tabs.
The user selects general settings http://de.opensuse.org/images/2/29/Status_settingsgeneral.png
and system component specific settingshttp://de.opensuse.org/images/8/8c/Status_settingsmemory.png
For system specific limits the user selects whether he wants to be
informed if a certain value is either undercut or exceeded.
Best regards,
Martin
